Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

When you take the Zero-G out of the bag for the first time and assemble it, DO NOT attach the flying line.

TUNE IT FIRST!

1) Tune it in little or no wind.2) Tune the spine tension first... loosen it to get rid of a stall... tighten it if the kite won't glide a good distance (especially when it gets down to ground effect level).3) Tweak the canard bridle (red bridle) for a perfect, looong glide. Mine is loose, but not slack.4) NOW attach the flying line to the bridle; my preferred setting is all the way forward... but you should experiment).5)Above all... BE PATIENT! And for sure, DON'T try to re-launch from the ground... the kite wasn't designed to do that.

Once you get the hang of it, you'll challenge yourself to having total control of a SLK. I look forward to flying the 'G' every chance I get... just ask Steve.,

Great tips Ted. I have to add to that a new #1 though. Before first flight measure the canard anchor lines and adjust them to be equal. Tolerance is 1mm of difference before flight is affected. THen check the center T ferrule for movement (mine was loose as if it was never glued in place).

max mph for staked out flying I would say 10 mph. THey aren't hard to learn for a new flyer to control but it will take a bit of learning how to manage the line at first and when your not flying your duals Jim you can play glider catch with her. You might want to look at a Wala as well to add to the glider bag.
